| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ROKKU. Well they are performing in front of a lot of people now. I'm not a fan of this music though tbh. The ending was cute I guess. The audience sure are enjoying that song though. |

| Pretty good episode i didn't expect there shirts to come off when they were playing. |
| Those tickets being worth six month worth of pay cheques! Ryoma just suddenly barging into the concert... that felt somewhat awkward and bizarre. They were even able to sing together too! If Peace Soul takes their shirts off, what would Ultra Soul do xD This was okay, I ain't a big fan of Ryoma especially when he barged in to the concert. It just felt weird. |
 |
| Okay. I've decided what to think of this anime now. It's basically UtaPri on crack. Ryoma barging on stage to show the Shinsengumi the meaning of passionate music reminded me so, so, so much of when Natsuki barges onto the stage in UtaPri to show Tokiya the meaning of passionate music. Because their voice actors are the same and all that -_- I don't really know what to think about the songs. I love Kishou Taniyama's voice so much as well as many of the other voice actors, but I'm more of a fan of the J-pop genre than the rock/guitar slammin' stuff. Even though this is supposed to be fangirl fodder, I can't really get excited over the weird ass peace soul shirt removal stuff. |
| That 3D was killing me |
| F*CK THE POLICE!!! EXCEPT THE SHINSENGUMI SQUAD ONE BECAUSE OKITA FOR LIFE! HIJIKATA IS LOVE! <3 |
 |
| I liked this episode more than the first one. I really enjoyed Cindy's character and I guess I wasn't that bored? But I really hated the CGI parts during the live, especially when they were mixed with 2D. I wonder if Ryoma's pack is going to team up with Shinsengumi on a basis, I wouldn't mind that (let's face it, I'm a sucker for Shinsengumi-inspired characters.) |
| I find this anime weird tbh. It's kinda bad actually, but the music is really good imo. |
| at first I just watched it because of no great reason, but after this episode I really enjoy this show :) |
| 3DCGI so ugly. But at least I'm warming up to Ryouma. I'm liking his easy-going, chill personality. Like how he just goes, whaat I'll be working for free for 6 months? But still got the tickets anyways! And the way he was cheering with the audience, lol. This guy is pretty funny. Hmm, going with the current trend, "sensei" will likely awaken(?) his Peace Soul next episode then? |
| Apparently instruments appear out of nowhere when they want to play.. I'm surprised how the audience changed so quickly though |
| lol |
| I still can't get over shinsengumi as idols.. i mean who came up with that stupid idea? XD I also want to know how those two met! And i like the songs, but so far this anime has been pretty boring. I have no high hopes for it to get better though. |
| This is so stupid! Second episode proved it! I ask myself, why I watched second episode? xD But I really like songs in this anime :) One good point. RedReaper said: It's basically UtaPri on crack. ^THIS! |
| The performance was incredibile, it made me wanna rock out too I can feel the passion and im liking the characters better |
 |
| This episode was okay, I guess. However...I hated the CGI part! D:< |
| Not gonna lie, I really liked this. Especially because they focused on Tatsun's character the most <3 Overall, this show is pretty decent. A lot better than the typical pandering trash. At least, this has some kind of theme going on. CGI's a bit weird, but ehhhh not as bad as Sailor Moon's. I watched the ED sequence again and damn, I wanna see these boys in suits. That would be great. |
| This is really, really silly. I'm loving it, lol. Except for the CGI, the CGI's bad. |
  |
| Show is still going good, and the music is still awesome, im still not a fan of the 3D animation but at least theyre only using it with extreme camera angles, i hope it gets better. Looking forwards to the next ep. |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| love the music and the voice acting~ awesome performance, the cg was weird though... lol still cant take this series seriously... that peace soul shirt ripping =__=" |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| The anime itself is a bit silly, but I believe what counts the most is the music, and the music is great to me. Bakumatsu Rock puts SoniAni to shame. CGI was shite though. |
| Lol, figures Ryoma would burst out something in the middle of that concert. I loved their angry singing together song. the beginning lyrics made me laugh. xD |
 |
| Oh god that CGI animation was absolutely repulsive, it looks like they filmed real people and coloured colourful sparkly stuff over the top of them. This anime has really gotten to my nerves now, their animation doesn't even sync with the music.. |
 |
| LOL, the awful CG band playing... |
| Don't know why but I'm really enjoying this! That performance. What an energetic man is Ryouma. |
 |
| 1: The 3D-CG was pretty shit, and it looks weird when they mix it with the 2D. 2: The episode was ok, i think i can watch the third one. 3: Why Kondo helps Ryoma and his band? |
Shaniyaz said: Kondo-san was pretty nice to give Ryoma and his pals a chance to perform live. That concert scene was so ridiculous! First, the audience decries when Ryoma took the stage, telling him to go home. But once he started playing his guitar, they started cheering? What?! O.o The animation was specially lousy this episode. CG movements combined with normal animation in the same scene looked very out of place. Below average episode. The only important thing we learned was about the "Ultra Soul" being scattered into "Peace Soul" and that Ryoma and Cindy both now possesses each. Damn. I at least wished the songs to be good. Guess, can't expect more from this show. the episode overall was good, but I agree that the CG was out of place and looked terrible combined with the regular anime |
| That Les PAul is yummy. Want me to pick up my guitar. That Peace Soul motive is lame, this anime doesn't need plot. Heaven's Song sucks indeed. |
| lol at the band's animation near the end the normal art is actually really good so when they combine both it makes the CGI look extra terrible much better episode than the first one (not that there was any competition) |
| I still don't know what to think of this series, so I'm leaving the rating open for now. The CGI looked weird and out of place and the concert didn't feel as "hot" as they would have liked to make us believe it would. I hope this series starts to make sense soon (not in its historical absurdness, that just adds to the whole crack thing that this series is. The historical references make me laugh when they're used out of context.) Is the shirt ripping really necessary? |
 |
| I'm not a huge fan of the story but DANG if the music isn't awesome! Though the animation looked a bit odd at times (like when they were playing at the concert). However we get a bit more backstory from Shinsaku ... he lost his parents because of the government and that's why he hates them eh? Plus it seems like how he met "Sensei" (I forget his name) is pretty embarrassing XD Hijikata and Souji's voices when they're singing don't really match their looks eh ;P I guess because it's pretty heavily edited. Dang if the trio joining them and them all rocking out (ehehe) together wasn't great to listen to though XD Shinsaku ends up getting a Peace Soul too. I wonder what the kid at the end has to do with it all, and what happened to Shoin-sensei as well ... well, I bet all three of the trio has a Peace Soul (I mean it would be weird for only the two of them to have one :P) |
| This anime is slowly growing on me. The performance got me to feel more involved with how the characters feel. I can definitely feel their passion more, and I like the songs a lot too. |

| What I hate about this show is that the "ROCK" music sounds exactly the same as the bubble-gum pop music. |
hulksWAGON said: What I hate about this show is that the "ROCK" music sounds exactly the same as the bubble-gum pop music. ...No. LOL Watch Utapri and this show would seem a lot more rock than that. The voice cast for Bakurock is great because most of the five main voice actors are already familiar with rock music (Suzuki Tatsuhisa and Taniyama Kishow for example, are both in rock bands themselves and OnoK is pretty good too) |
| to be honest i think this show is totally stupid. however, i really enjoy the music and it really entertains me. it's one of those shows where u turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride (even though i don't really like the strip band thing, but whatever) good episode |
 |
| The CGI Lawl kill me ;_; |
| I'm just in it for the fan service, and to have Sakamoto's, Hijikata's and Okita's babies. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| A lot of complaints about the CGI in this thread. I didn't mind it, although it certainly was noticeable. I guess Love Live desensitized me to it. This show definitely has the potential to be my favorite for this season. I mean, the plot is about samurai who fight the government with the power of rock, and the actual episodes are about as crazily awesome as the synopsis made me expect. Not to mention it seems like we might get some characters who are actually decent in addition to being fucking ridiculous. I want to see more of Kondo; he seems to have interesting motives. mayukachan said: Not gonna lie, I really liked this. Especially because they focused on Tatsun's character the most <3 Overall, this show is pretty decent. A lot better than the typical pandering trash. At least, this has some kind of theme going on. I have to wonder, if the completely unnecessary stripping in this show isn't 'pandering,' then what exactly are you referring to? Do you mean that it would be 'pandering' if it lacked focus on the characters and didn't "have some kind of theme going on?" Maybe it'd help me understand what you meant if you gave an example of something that you'd call pandering. hulksWAGON said: What I hate about this show is that the "ROCK" music sounds exactly the same as the bubble-gum pop music. I'm curious about where you're coming from as well. Could you post an example (or examples) of music that represents what rock is to you? I'm most familiar with classic rock, which this definitely is not. But it definitely sounded like 'rock' to me. Of course, as far as I can tell 'pop' is just a catch-all term for 'popular music' and may well overlap with 'rock' to some extent. |

Maybe it'd help me understand what you meant if you gave an example of something that you'd call pandering. NGNL is pandering. I think this show does have those things too but has something to back it up like it's rock theme it's going with and the potential for a very good story. The random stripping in this show is not as bad as girls going around topless and having bath time fun together. I would compare this show to another music show like White Album 2 which also had pandering elements during its song sequences but the music was the main focus. |
| This show has a lot of problems, many of which are glaring. But I've enjoyed both episodes in spite of the flaws, and I don't really care for the music at all. Strange show but as of now one I'm sticking with for the season. |
| I was quite skeptical about watching this at first. I laughed so hard at the first episode, and I think it was a great decision to watch the second one. I'm not gonna act all professional and shit, because what I care most is that I certainly enjoyed it. The weird Vocaloid-like animation thing is quite distracting though. I like how Ryoma is so chill with everything. Gonna work for free in 6 months? Okay. Old man was apparently Kondo Isami? Okay. Just barged in a concert without knowing the name of the singers, giving them nicknames, and telling them how I like their music but it lacks passion? Okay. Looks like Sensei's quite depressed with being the only person without a Peace Soul. Next episode, maybe? Soji and Hijikata's back-up vocals/autotune was funny, especially when there was something wrong with it (apparently) and there was even a part that Soji's voice was barely heard. My favorite part would be when Ryoma barged in the stage!! Because yes, the instruments (especially the drum) just HAD to appear whenever they play. XDDD. "If Peace Souls can rip off their shirts, imagine what an Ultra Soul can do. XDD" I think I just died. Will certainly be sticking with this! It certainly feels like UtaPri on crack, but it's all good to me. Certainly can't help experiencing second hand embarrassment whenever they rip their clothes tho. |
